Alicia Ashby over at Topless Robot has posted an article tittle The 12 Dumbest Spider-Man Stories Ever (Besides the Clone Saga)
"Fair warning: if your idea of a bad Spider-man story is when he fights a silly villain like the Hypno-Hustler, then the shit on this list is going to set your eyebrows on fire. This is a hardcore, no-holds-barred look at the absolute worst of the worst of Spider-man, and as you’ll see, the ‘80s and ‘90s and beyond let Spider-man comics get pretty motherfucking terrible. For all that Spider-man is one of the world’s most popular superheroes thanks to his combination of cool powers and everyday problems, a really bad Spider-man story is about as bad as superhero comics can get (well, until Chuck Austen is writing them). Be forewarned and forearmed with knowledge to avoid accidentally trying to read shit that will never, ever entertain you in a non-ironic way."
Take a look.

New Trailer For Joss Whedon's Dollhouse.
I don't watch much Tv. I don't know whether its because I don't have the time or because I just don't think their is anything really that good on. Besides Id rather be watching a movie. A new Trailer For Joss Whedon's Dollhouse has landed on the internet thanks to Fox. I don't really care for this and Ill probably never watch it, but its Joss Whedon and its new so who knows.
Joss Whedon, creator of groundbreaking cult favorites "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly," returns to television and reunites with fellow "Buffy" alumna Eliza Dushku for a thrilling new drama, DOLLHOUSE.
ECHO (Dushku) is an "Active," a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don't just perform their hired roles, they wholly become - with mind, personality and physiology - whomever the client wants or needs them to be. Whether imprinted to be a lover, an assassin, a corporate negotiator or a best friend, the Actives know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time.
Confined between missions to a secret facility known as the "Dollhouse," Echo and the other Actives including SIERRA (Dichen Lachman) and VICTOR (Enver Gjokaj) are assigned engagements by ADELLE (Olivia Williams), one of the Dollhouse leaders. After each scenario, Echo, always under the watchful eye of her handler BOYD (Harry Lennix), returns to the mysterious Dollhouse where her thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowledge are erased by TOPHER (Fran Kranz), the Dollhouse's genius programmer.
Echo enters the next scenario with no memory of before. Or does she?
As the series progresses, FBI Agent PAUL BALLARD (Tahmoh Penikett) pieces together clues that lead him closer to the Dollhouse, while Echo stops forgetting, her memories begin to return and she slowly pieces together her mysterious past.
Inevitably what Akira will become.
I watched this the other day, completely missed the point. I have watched it again and this time thought more about the film and that it may be getting reworked in to a live action film - an American live action film. You will get what I mean, take a look.
I love Akira, its one of the first Anime films I ever saw and I was blown away by how detailed it was, its ideas and how well its still holds up against Anime pictures been created today. I recently got to see a film print of the original dubbed version, it wasn't that fun but the more I think about it the more the voices feel like this cartoon. The print came of cheesy and i worried that people watching it for the first time may now have a miss conception of it.

Yes Man Movie Trailer 2
If you are a fan of Jim Carrey, you know longer see him as just a funny man. Warner Bros has just released the second theatrical trailer for his new comedy Yes Man. Its fair to day Jim Carrey hasn't made a funny movie this century. Bruce Almighty was mediocre at best and Fun with Dick and Jane a remake of the 1977 classic is, well, a remake.
He has since then moved on to show exceptional talent in more serious rolls. Eternal Sunshine, The Truman show, Man On The Moon and the Majestic all within the last ten years shows that he is more veritable than just character acting.
Im always skeptical about a new Jim Carrey comedy, but i have to say this doesn't look half bad. I like that he's keeping his age, he looks similar to the way he did in Liar Liar, its got his trade mark but maybe a bit out of date voices and facial expressions and hes playing the loser as he seems to do a lot - in fact taking a look at all the films i know him for, his characters are always huge losers.
Trailer over at Yahoo.
Yes Man hits theaters on December 19th 2008.

futurama on anti-piracy
Futurama's take on those annoying anti-piracy adds you see on DVDs. One thing I have always thought is what if you answered yes to these questions? Would you steal a car? If you answer yes, does this means its OK to pirate movies?
I dont think this is the adds intentions but it does make light of the point.
Enjoy.
Open Season 2?
If you saw the title of this post and were met with confused intrigue, then you are not alone. Where did this come from? Its a Direct to DVD sequel of the original Open Season from 2006. I has to post it out of interest, not to do with the film itself, just that it is a CG direct to DVD movie that inst been released in cinemas.
